Singing in the Rain

I felt like doing a happy page in my square art journal and paired up Tim Holtz Umbrella Man stamp with Singin' in the rain. The blue dots had already been stenciled on this page, using left-over paint from when I made my Frozen Deer canvas tutorial in December. Since it looked a little like rain, I decided to work on this page.

The Umbrella Man was stamped with Jet Black ink and so was the sentiment next to him. I felt that the page needed another colour and more of a background, so I stenciled bricks using Squeezed Orange Dylusions paint.

I gave him a road to stand on by stamping a number stamp with Watering Can ink, adding some tissue tape and also a bit of messy pen work.

The birds on a wire overlook the whole scene. Finally, I added some tissue tape, it is such a great final addition to art journal pages, and completely flat, so it doesn't add any bulk.

I hope you will join us in our Inspired by a song challenge. As every week, you have a chance to win a $50 gift voucher from Simon Says Stamp. You have until Monday 8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in.

I love everything about this, Anna-Karin! The color combo is one of my favorites. Sometimes I struggle using some of Tim's images but you always know exactly how to use them and create something spectacular! I have to get some and give it a try. Cathie <3

Anna-Karin, there is just something about the blues and oranges lately that I love, and on your page, they look fabulous! Perfect image for the song you chose, and I like how you turned some leftover work into this delightful piece!

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I have been doing arts and crafts my whole life, but papercrafting is the one that has totally captured my heart and mind. I started making cards in 2002 and to scrapbook two years later. I enjoy switching between the differently sized space of a card and a layout. My stamps and dies are my absolute favorite tools and I love creating something out of only white paper, stamps and ink, and to try out different techniques.
